<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Boy Meets World" actor Trina McGee has announced she is pregnant at the age of 54.</li><li>More women are having children at the age we typically associate with menopause.</li></ul>Actor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boy-meets-world-trina-mcgee-asked-to-turn-down-blackness-2022-9">Trina McGee</a> has announced she is pregnant at the age of 54, as part of a growing trend of women having children at a time more often associated with menopause. McGee, who played Angela Moore on the popular 1990s sitcom "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-ben-savage-ghosted-cast-2023-6">Boy Meets World</a>," announced on Monday that she is expecting her fourth child.She wrote on Instagram: "At the tender age of 54, I have found myself pregnant. Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery."The number of US women over the age of 50 giving birth has risen in recent decades, from 144 in 1997 to 1,230 in 2022, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. The average age at which mothers have their first child is now 27.4 years old, a record high, the NCHS said in a report.It's unclear why more people are getting pregnant over 50. But in general, more people are having kids later when they have completed their education and have more stable careers, relationships, and finances, according to a 2022 <a target="_blank" href="https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10157657/1/deac209.pdf">study</a> by researchers at University College London.McGee claims to have used unproven treatments to conceive. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says on its website that those looking to use complementary medicine should tell their regular healthcare provider about any alternative approaches they use."Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care," it says.McGee <a target="_blank" href="https://www.etonline.com/how-boy-meets-worlds-trina-mcgee-says-she-reversed-early-menopause-to-get-pregnant-at-54-exclusive">told</a> ET Online on Tuesday she was hesitant to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-ivf-2018-12">have IVF</a>, so instead conceived with the help of the Garifuna people in Belize, where her husband has cultural ties. She said she fell pregnant despite having had her "tubes tied" and being a year into <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/reproductive-health/menopause-age">menopause</a>.McGee said shamans gave her three drops of an elixir of wild yam, "made in a very spiritual way," each morning and night for an undisclosed period of time. She said she also led an "extremely healthy lifestyle" and did a "few tricks" to "clean" her womb."Having a child at my age is not a big deal for the rest of the world outside America," she said.This will be her first child with husband Marcello Thedford, who she has been married to for 16 years, <a target="_blank" href="https://people.com/boy-meets-world-s-trina-mcgee-is-pregnant-at-54-8657771">according</a> to People magazine. She has three other children, aged 31, 29, and 25: two with her ex-husband, Courtland Davis, and another child from a previous relationship.<h2 id="1ede1151-175e-4789-8a8a-2f0cc269b080">Getting pregnant after 50 comes with risks</h2>Pregnancy after the age of 35 used to be classed as "geriatric," but now healthcare providers tend to use the term "advanced maternal age."With age, it can get harder to conceive. "As women age, they're still fertile, but their odds of pregnancy are decreased because they're not making as many good eggs that will fertilize and divide normally and turn out to be an embryo," Dr. Alan Decherney, a National Institutes of Health fertility expert, told <a target="_blank" href="https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/sites/nihNIH/files/2022/July/NIHNiHJul2022.pdf">NIH News in Health</a>. And people tend to go through menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, after which they aren't fertile because the ovaries no longer release eggs.People can have healthy pregnancies and babies after the age of 35, but certain risks increase the older they get, Sophie King, a midwife from the support team at UK pregnancy research charity Tommy's, told Business Insider."If you're expecting a baby in your 40s or 50s, your age can affect the development of the placenta, which in turn can make it more likely that you will develop <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/reproductive-health/what-is-preeclampsia">pre-eclampsia</a> or your baby will be relatively small at birth," King said."Other issues to be aware of are an increased risk of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/gestational-diabetes">gestational diabetes</a>, which can make it more likely that you will have a very large baby, and high blood pressure," she added.But <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mental-physical-benefits-downsides-of-having-baby-in-30s-2020-1">having a baby later in life</a> can also come with benefits, as parents are more likely to be better financially and emotionally prepared for a child.BI previously reported that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/naomi-campbell-welcomes-new-baby-2021-5">Naomi Campbell</a> became a mother at 50, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cameron-diaz-baby-47-fans-want-to-know-how-2020-1">Cameron Diaz</a> had her first child at 47.

'Boy Meets World' actor Trina McGee is pregnant at 54. More women are having children at the age when menopause can happen.

According to Fishel, the cast didn't ignore the issue and instead decided to have difficult conversations with each other. In January 2020, McGee tweeted about the racism she experienced on set from 1997 to 2000 when she played Shawn Hunter's (Rider Strong) love interest Angela Moore. The behavior was similar in 2015 when McGee returned for the spinoff "Girl Meets World."The actor <a href="https://twitter.com/realtrinamcgee/status/1216319034842468352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1216319034842468352%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fentertainment%2Ftrina-mcgee-racism-boy-meets-world-set-160033460.html">tweeted that</a> she was "called aunt Jemima" and a "bitter bitch" and treated "like a stranger" on set, even though she appeared on nearly 60 episodes of the original series. At the time, McGee didn't specify who on set called her racist names.She later opened up to <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trina-mcgee-racism-boy-meets-world-set-160033460.html">Yahoo Entertainment</a> in July 2020 about why she was now confronting the racism she'd experienced."I feel like I'm always the one who had to squelch it and move on," McGee told Yahoo <keyword id="11896019" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="entertainment" source="Orion">Entertainment</keyword>. "What about me? What about all this stuff I'm taking and ingesting in me, and not really totally realizing how much it's lowering my vibration, my self-esteem."McGee said her feelings were resurfacing in 2020 because she felt similarly uncomfortable on the <a href="https://www.insider.com/girl-meets-world-canceled-disney-channel-2017-1">"Girl Meets World"</a> set several years before.She revealed that it was Friedle who had called her the racist name and said that she had since received an apology from him that was "completely sincere."In June 2020, Fishel tweeted that she was the person who made McGee feel unwelcome on the spinoff set. "I owed <a href="https://twitter.com/realtrinamcgee">@realtrinamcgee</a> an apology for being rude, cold, &amp; distant when she guest starred on GMW (her tweet regarding warm hellos being met with cold blank stares was about me)." She said she apologized and McGee "gracefully" accepted.<h2>The 'Pod Meets World' cast told Insider they're ready to talk about their mistakes</h2><div type="image" title="&quot;Boy Meets World&quot; cast." height="2661" width="2261" msid="92712429" hostid="261" sizebytes="296284"></div>In a joint interview with Friedle and Strong promoting their <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-facts-2018-10">"Boy Meets World"</a> rewatch <keyword id="11918054" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="podcast" source="Orion">podcast</keyword> <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-pod-meets-world-98589488/">"Pod Meets World,"</a> Fishel told Insider she's not afraid to admit that she's made mistakes in her past."Social media has actually made us worse communicators and there's already a tendency for some people to shy away from confrontation," she said. Fishel knows that some people "embrace" tense encounters but she thinks the "default" is to avoid them. "With that said, if something happens that one person isn't aware is a big deal — because to them it was a flippant comment or a moment that felt rushed through — and you don't know how much of an impact it made on someone else, you'll never know it unless they come to you and say, 'I need to talk to you about what happened," Fishel continuedShe said that accepting their "less than stellar" moments is how people grow. <div type="image" title="&quot;Boy Meets World.&quot;" height="1768" width="2357" msid="92712430" hostid="261" sizebytes="97232"></div>So, although McGee has <a href="https://twitter.com/realtrinamcgee/status/1270594635098775553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1270594635098775553%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.today.com%2Fpopculture%2Fboy-meets-world-star-trina-mcgee-says-danielle-fishel-apologized-t186632">publicly healed her relationships</a> with both Fishel and Friedle, the cohosts have made it clear on the podcast that they will be revisiting the issue when McGee joins them as a guest on an upcoming episode."It has made us so much closer, the things that have come out of those conversations, the tears that have been shed, the hugs that we've had, the closeness it has brought us, has been some of my favorite moments of the last several years," <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-resented-the-show-2022-4">Fishel said</a> of the difficult talks she's had with McGee and other cast members. Friedle told Insider that the <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-ben-savage-one-date-2022-3">"Boy Meets World" cast is "a family,"</a> so some confrontation is inevitable and he's "looking forward" to discussing important topics publicly with McGee and other members of the cast. "When you can all get together and look back at that and talk about it as adults, that's how you grow," he said. "One of the few things that I'm so happy about is how close we are to everybody now."New episodes of "Pod Meets World" are released on Mondays.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Trina McGee says the "Boy Meets World" showrunner asked her to "turn down" her Blackness on set.</li><li>She also said she wished Shawn and Angela's interracial relationship was discussed on the show.</li></ul>"Boy Meets World" <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-trina-mcgee-racism-cast-closer-2022-7">star Trina McGee</a> said she was asked to "turn down" her Blackness while filming episodes of the sitcom that were centered on her character, Angela Moore.McGee, who starred on the series from 1997 to 2000, spoke about the moment when she was a guest on Monday's episode of the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trina-mcgee-meets-world/id1629908611?i=1000579147799">"Pod Meets World"</a> podcast, where her former costars Rider Strong, Will Friedle, <a href="https://www.insider.com/danielle-fishel-boy-meets-world-body-image-issues-2022-7">and Danielle Fishel</a> rewatch and reflect on "Boy Meets World" episodes and interview former castmates. "Coming from Black sitcoms, I always had to have like a Black meter," she said around the one-hour and eight-minute mark of the podcast while discussing how she would change her speaking voice on the <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-rider-strong-recalls-damaging-atmosphere-on-set-2022-7">"Boy Meets World" set</a>.Before starring on "Boy Meets World," McGee previously appeared on episodes of "A Different World," "The Sinbad Show," "Martin," and "Family Matters.""On 'Boy Meets World,' my Black meter was probably down to about a two," she added. But while filming a season seven episode centered on Angela called "Angela's Ashes," McGee said her "Black meter had slipped up" and was "at about a nine."<div type="image" title="Danielle Fishel and Trina Mcgee on &quot;Boy Meets World.&quot;" height="2194" width="2925" msid="94186583" hostid="261" sizebytes="459894"></div>She said showrunner Michael Jacobs came over to talk to her and instructed her to "just turn down the Telma Hopkins about eight notches," referring to the jazz singer and sitcom star who played Harriette Winslow's (Jo Marie Payton) sister Rachel Crawford on "Family Matters" between 1989 and 1997. On the podcast, McGee laughed as she recalled the interaction with Jacobs, saying she "knew exactly what he was talking about" and complied with his request. But she said her costars were "lucky" that they didn't have to think about things like that. "Sometimes, it was too much," she added. A representative for Jacobs didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.Earlier in the podcast, McGee also discussed how she regrets a Daily News opinion piece written by her publicist and her ex-husband under her byline which claimed that she liked the fact that "Boy Meets World" didn't address the fact that Shawn (Strong) and Angela were <a href="https://www.insider.com/interracial-couples-discuss-how-they-talk-about-race-2018-1">in an interracial relationship</a>. She said it wasn't her "organic view" but that she was more concerned with keeping her job and raising her kids at the time. <div type="image" title="Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, and Will Friedle." height="3615" width="4821" msid="94186585" hostid="261" sizebytes="1212616"></div>This isn't the first time McGee has spoken about her experiences being one of very few Black cast and crew members on "Boy Meets World." She and Friedle previously made headlines for an interaction on set when Friedle referred to McGee as "Aunt Jemima."<a href="https://people.com/tv/boy-meets-worlds-will-friedle-apologizes-to-trina-mcgee-for-past-racist-comment-with-3-page-letter/">Friedle apologized to McGee</a> and the pair spoke about the incident at length on Monday's podcast episode but said they both want to move on.McGee also expressed frustration on the podcast that the press often framed her stories as "extreme racist moments."She said the confrontation with Friedle was a memory she has, "but I don't count that as my entire experience on the show," she clarified. "We need everyone else to be over it, too," McGee said of Friedle's mistake. "Pod Meets World" releases new episodes weekly.

"I was terrified to eat," she told the magazine at the time. According to People, Fishel weighed only 89 pounds when she was 16. She said that at times she would take laxatives and eat a diet of only iceberg lettuce to try and lose weight.
